Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Garnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy McCall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Garnett's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, 2PAC - Hell Raiser. McCall has chosen Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mr Azure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Mullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azure's entrance music is War, War Never Changes. A fine choice. Mullen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Country Boy Can Survive kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
